Connor Winn, a class of 2027 tight end from Florida, was offered by Rutgers football over the weekend.
Despite being in middle school, Winn is already 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds. He also plays defensive end. In addition, Winn plays basketball.
Winn, from Jacksonville, FL, posted on X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter), about his offer from the Big Ten program. In announcing the offer, Winn tagged Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano and tight ends coach Andrew Aurich.
After playing at Princeton as a tight end, Aurich spent time in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then back at Princeton (as offensive line coach then offensive coordinator) before joining Schiano’s staff. Last year, he was the team’s running backs coach.
Winn is already looking to be in the mold of a Big Ten tight end, with a strong frame and a good radius. He does well in securing contested catches.
After an amazing visit, extremely happy to share I received my 1st offer from Rutgers University. I want to sincerely thank @GregSchiano an @Coach_Aurich for being the 1st to believe in me. That will never be forgotten. An thanks Coach PJ for showing us great time pic.twitter.com/bMwcWH2MuD
